Old Skylla: does anyone still have the user manual?

Q&A and troubleshooting

Dear community,

I have an antique Skylla that I would like to replace. The problem I’m running into is that I can no longer find an instruction manual for this model. The Skylla is almost 40 years old, and the two different manuals that are available don’t match. Victron doesn’t have one either. I need to connect the control wires to the new unit, but there’s no way to determine which wire is which. Can anyone help? See photo.

You didn’t find the manual here?

Where are the wires coming from/where are they going to?
Nothing printed on the PCB?

2 wires could be a voltage or temperature sensor.
3 wires could be a relay or remote switch.

Is the skylla still working?

‘Antique’ sounds good… perhaps Victron still has an old stone tablet with inscriptions on it… :sweat_smile:

… pretty close … but there are only 12 connectors in your picture … whereas the instructions say there are 14 contacts … :thinking:

Hi everyone,

I’d already found that manual myself, indeed. Unfortunately, it’s true that this one has 14 terminals, whereas ‘mine’ only has 12. I also can’t access the dashboard without taking the cabinet apart. It has an on/off switch, a voltmeter and an ammeter.

I hope someone still knows something or can find something.

P.S. The Skylla still works. It’s just too small for the new battery bank.
